The Company bases its forward-looking statements on reasonable beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about itself and its industry. The Company cautions that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted. In addition, the Company based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. One is cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, or otherwise.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Company Overview

Business Segment Data and Geographical Information

See Note 14 under Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Operations

Furmanite’s business is specialized technical services that are provided to an international base of customers. Furmanite operations were founded in Virginia Beach, Virginia in the 1920s as a manufacturer of leak sealing kits. In the 1960s, Furmanite expanded within the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), primarily through its leak sealing products and then into providing services. During the 1970s and 1980s, Furmanite grew through geographic expansion and the addition of new techniques, processes and services to become one of the largest industrial services companies performing leak sealing and

on-site machining in the world. The Parent Company acquired Furmanite in 1991 to diversify its operations and pursue international growth opportunities. In 2005, the Company, through an asset acquisition, expanded its valve repair and hot-tapping services along with expanding its location footprint in the United States, and heat treating services were introduced in 2006. In 2007, Furmanite expanded its operating presence into Bahrain and mainland China and in 2008, offices in Canada and West Africa were opened to take advantage of existing customer relationships in the area and launch the full range of service lines to existing customers and other markets. In 2010, Furmanite continued to expand its operating presence in Europe to include offices in both Denmark and Sweden. In 2011, Furmanite expanded its onsite machining service capabilities with an asset acquisition to provide for large scale onsite machining.

Products and Services

Furmanite provides on-line repairs of leaks (“leak sealing”) in valves, pipes and other components of piping systems and related equipment typically used in flow-process industries (see “Customers and Markets” below). Other on-line services provided include hot tapping, line stopping, line isolation (a new service line introduced in 2010), composite repair and valve testing. In addition, the Company provides off-line services including on-site machining, bolting, valve repair, heat treating and repair on such systems and equipment. These services tend to complement leak sealing and other on-line services since these off-line services are usually performed while a plant or piping system is not operating. In addition, Furmanite provides concrete repair, engineering services, valve and other products and manufacturing. Furmanite also performs diagnostic services on valves by, among other methods, utilizing its patented Trevitest system. In performing these services, technicians generally work at the customer’s location, frequently responding on an emergency basis. Over its history, Furmanite has established a reputation for delivering quality service and helping its customers avoid or delay costly plant or equipment shutdowns. For each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, on-line services represented approximately 39%, 37%, and 36%, respectively, of total revenues, while off-line services accounted for approximately 44%, 46%, and 46%, respectively, of total revenue and other industrial services represented approximately 17%, 17%, and 18%, respectively, of total revenues.

Furmanite’s on-line, leak sealing services are performed on a variety of flow-process industry machinery, often in difficult situations. Many of the techniques and materials are proprietary and some are patented. Furmanite believes these techniques and materials provide Furmanite with a competitive advantage over other organizations that provide similar services. The Company holds over 120 trademarks and patents for its techniques, products and materials and continues to develop new and update existing patents, as it considers these efforts to be essential to its operations. The patents, which are registered in jurisdictions around the world, expire at various dates through December 2023. The skilled technicians work with equipment in a manner designed to enhance safety and efficiency in temperature environments ranging from cryogenic to 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure environments ranging from vacuum to 5,000 pounds per square inch. In many circumstances, employees are called upon to custom-design tools, equipment or other materials to achieve the necessary repairs. These efforts are supported by an internal quality control group as well as an engineering group and manufacturing group that work with the on-site technicians in crafting these materials, tools and equipment.

Customers and Markets

Furmanite’s customer base includes petroleum refineries, chemical plants, mining operations, offshore energy production platforms, subsea piping systems, steel mills, nuclear power stations, conventional power stations, pulp and paper mills, food and beverage processing plants and other flow-process facilities in more than 50 countries. Most of the revenues are derived from fossil and nuclear fuel power generation companies, petroleum refiners and chemical producers. Other significant markets include offshore oil producers, mining operations and steel manufacturers. As the worldwide industrial infrastructure continues to age, additional repair and maintenance expenditures are expected to be required for the specialized services provided by Furmanite. Other factors that may influence the markets served by Furmanite include regulations governing construction of industrial plants and safety and environmental compliance requirements and the worldwide economic climate. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during any of the past three fiscal years.

Furmanite believes that it is the most recognized brand in its industry. With an over 85-year history, Furmanite’s customer relationships are long-term and worldwide. All customers will be served from the worldwide headquarters in Houston, Texas and the Company has a substantial presence in EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Furmanite currently operates over 25 offices in the United States (“U.S.”) including Saraland, Alabama; Benicia, California; Torrance, California; Lombard, Illinois; Hobart, Indiana; Geismar, Louisiana; Sulphur, Louisiana; Paulsboro, New Jersey; Charlotte, North Carolina; Muskogee, Oklahoma;

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Houston, Texas; La Porte, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah and Kent, Washington. The worldwide operations are further supported by offices currently located in countries on six continents in Australia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and the U.K. and by licensee and agency arrangements which are based in Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, Trinidad, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Revenues by major geographic region for 2011 were 50% for the Americas, 38% for EMEA and 12% for Asia-Pacific. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 14 under Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Furmanite’s leak sealing on-line and other specialty field services are marketed primarily through direct sales calls on customers by salesmen and technicians based at the various operating locations, which are situated to facilitate timely customer response, 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Customers are usually billed on a time and materials basis for services typically performed pursuant to either job quotation sheets or purchase orders issued under written customer agreements. Furmanite has select master service customer agreements, which can provide coverage for multiple years, and selected services with defined rates from which orders are then released with defined scopes of work. Other customer arrangements are generally short-term in duration and specify the range of, and rates for, the services to be performed. Furmanite typically provides various limited warranties, depending upon the services furnished, and has had no material warranty costs during any of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009. Furmanite generally competes on the basis of service, product performance, technical know-how, engineering solutions and price on a localized basis with smaller companies and the in-house maintenance departments of its customers or potential customers. Furmanite believes it currently has an advantage over in-house maintenance departments because of the ability of its multi-disciplined technicians to use proprietary and patented techniques to perform quality repairs on a timely basis while customer equipment remains in service.

Safety, Environmental and Other Regulatory Matters

Many aspects of Furmanite’s operations are subject to governmental regulation. Federal, state and local authorities of the U.S. and various foreign countries have each adopted safety, environmental and other regulations relating to the use of certain methods, practices and materials in connection with the performance of Furmanite’s services and operations. Further, because of the international operations, Furmanite is subject to a number of political and economic risks, including taxation policies, labor practices, currency exchange rate fluctuations, foreign exchange restrictions, local political conditions, import and export limitations and expropriation of equipment. Except in certain developing countries, where payment in a specified currency is required by contract, services are paid and operations are typically funded in the currency of the particular country in which the business activities are conducted.

Furmanite’s services are often performed in emergency situations under circumstances involving exposure to high temperatures and pressures, potential contact with caustic or toxic materials, fire and explosion hazards and environmental contamination, any of which can cause serious personal injury or property damage. Furmanite manages its operating risks by providing its technicians with extensive on-going classroom and field training and supervision, maintaining a technical support system through its staff of specialists, establishing and enforcing strict safety and competency requirements, standardizing procedures and evaluating new materials and techniques for use in connection with the lines of service. Furmanite also maintains insurance coverage for certain risks, although there is no assurance that insurance coverage will continue to be available at rates considered reasonable or that the insurance will be adequate to protect Furmanite against liability or loss of revenues resulting from the consequences of a significant accident.

Furmanite is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. and various foreign locations relating to protection of the environment. Although the Company believes its operations are in compliance with applicable environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that environmental costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the Company. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from operations of the Company, could result in environmental costs and liabilities to the Company. The Company has recorded, in other liabilities, an undiscounted reserve for environmental liabilities related to the remediation of site contamination for properties in the U.S. in the amount of $1.0 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. While there is a reasonable possibility due to the inherent nature of environmental liabilities that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts are material to its financial statements.

Employees

At December 31, 2011, the Company had 1,529 employees, exclusive of temporary technicians. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 357 employees were subject to representation by unions or other similar associations for collective bargaining or other similar purposes, including 161 employees in the U.K. who are subject to a collective bargaining contract. The Company considers relations with its employees to be good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In evaluating the Company, the factors described below should be carefully considered. The occurrence of one or more of these events could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Weakness in the industries Furmanite serves could adversely affect demand for our services.

A substantial portion of the business depends upon the levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures in the refining and chemical industries, as well as the power generation and other process industries. The levels of capital and maintenance expenditures by Furmanite’s customers are affected by general economic conditions, conditions in their industries and their liquidity, as well as cyclical downturns in these industries and fluctuations in oil prices. Continued weaknesses in the sectors served by Furmanite could adversely affect the demand for Furmanite’s services.

Political, economic or other conditions in foreign countries in which Furmanite operates could adversely affect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.

Operations in foreign jurisdictions accounted for approximately 52% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company expects foreign operations to continue to be an important part of its business. Foreign operations are subject to a variety of risks, such as:

 

   

risks of economic instability;

 

   

potential adverse changes in taxation policies;

 

   

disruptions from labor and political disturbances;

 

   

adverse changes in tariffs or import or export restrictions;

 

   

war or insurrections; and

 

   

other adverse changes in the laws or regulations of the host country.

In addition the Company is subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), which generally prohibits U.S. companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business. Although the Company takes reasonable measures to comply with the FCPA and to ensure that its employees, agents and intermediaries comply with the FCPA, it cannot assure that such precautions will protect it against liability under the FCPA, particularly as a result of actions taken in the past, or which may be taken in the future for which the Company may have exposure under the FCPA. If the Company is not in compliance with such laws and regulations, it may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, which may cause harm to its reputation and to its brand names and could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

The Company may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and foreign exchange restrictions.

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies, which represent a significant portion of total revenues, and certain costs, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The primary foreign currencies of the Company are the Euro, British pound and Australian dollar. Overall volatility in currency exchange rates has

 

7


Table of Contents

increased over the past several years. For the year ended December 31, 2011, foreign currency based revenues and operating income were $165.1 million and $16.2 million, respectively. Based on results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company estimates that a ten percent fluctuation of all applicable foreign currencies would result in an annual change in revenues and operating income of $15.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

The competitive position of Furmanite depends in part on the ability to protect its intellectual property.

The competitive position of Furmanite depends in part upon techniques and materials that are proprietary and, in some cases, patented. The Company holds over 120 trademarks and patents for its techniques, materials and equipment. These patents are registered around the world and expire at various dates through December 2023. Although Furmanite believes it has taken appropriate steps to protect the intellectual property from misappropriation, effective protection may be unavailable or limited in some of the foreign countries. In addition, adequate remedies may not be available in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of trade secrets and proprietary techniques.

Furmanite’s products and services are offered in highly competitive markets, which limits the profit margins and the ability to increase market share.

The markets for Furmanite’s products and services are highly competitive. Furmanite competes against large and well established national and international companies as well as regional and local companies. Furmanite also competes with the in-house maintenance departments of customers or potential customers. Competition is based on service, performance and price. If Furmanite does not compete successfully, the business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

If the Company loses any key personnel, the ability to manage the business and continue the growth of the Company could be negatively impacted.

The Company’s success is highly dependent on the efforts of its executive officers and key employees. If any of the Company’s key employees leave, its business may suffer. The growth of the Company’s business is also largely dependent upon its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in all areas of its business, including management. If the Company is unable to attract and retain such qualified personnel, it may be forced to limit growth, and its business and operating results could suffer. Organizational changes within the Company could also impact its ability to retain personnel.

The Company is exposed to customer credit risks.

The Company is subject to risks of loss resulting from delinquent payment, nonpayment or nonperformance or other obligations by its customers. If key customers default on their obligations, the financial results of the Company could be adversely affected. Furthermore, some of the Company’s customers may be highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and regulatory risks which may also limit their ability to pay or perform.

Changes in the general economy affecting availability of credit may negatively impact the Company’s business.

The Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected during periods of economic downturn, and the timing and extent of such a decline in the global, or regional economies in which the Company operates, cannot be predicted. Lower levels of liquidity and capital adequacy affecting lenders, increases in defaults and bankruptcies by customers and suppliers, and volatility in credit and equity markets could negatively affect the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition in a number of ways, including reductions in revenues and profits, increased bad debts, and financial instability of suppliers and insurers. Furthermore, it may be more difficult or costly to access or obtain, in the future, working capital or acquisition opportunity financing.

Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” could result in reduced demand for the Company’s services and products.

The adoption and implementation of any regulations which impose limiting emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from customers for whom the Company provides repair and maintenance services could adversely affect demand for the Company’s products and services. Furthermore, some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to occur in regions where the Company operates, it could have an adverse effect on the Company’s assets and

operations. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from operations of the Company, could result in costs and liabilities to the Company.

Item 2. Properties

The properties owned or utilized by the Company are generally described in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 5 under Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional information concerning the obligations of the Company for lease and rental commitments is presented under the caption “Commitments and Contingencies” in Note 13 under Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” on the Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the caption “Contractual Obligations” under Item 7 “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. Such descriptions and information are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.

The Parent Company’s corporate headquarters is currently located in an office building in Richardson, Texas, pursuant to a lease agreement that expires June 30, 2012 and requires monthly lease payments of approximately $40,000 plus certain operating expenses. By the end of March 2012, the Parent Company’s corporate headquarters will relocate to an office building in Houston, Texas, pursuant to a lease agreement that expires in May 2019 which will require monthly lease payments of approximately $30,000 plus certain operating expense, with annual increases ratably up to approximately $35,000 plus certain operating expenses by 2019 and provides for one five-year renewal period. Functions performed in the corporate headquarters include overall corporate management, planning and strategy, corporate finance, investor relations, accounting, tax, treasury, information technology, legal and human resources support functions. The facilities used in the operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are generally held under lease agreements having various expiration dates, rental rates and other terms, except for four properties located in the U.K. and six properties located in the U.S., which are company-owned.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The operations of the Company are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. and various foreign locations relating to protection of the environment. Although the Company believes its operations are in compliance with applicable environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the Company. The Company has recorded, in other liabilities, an undiscounted reserve for environmental liabilities related to the remediation of site contamination for properties in the U.S. in the amount of $1.0 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. While there is a reasonable possibility due to the inherent nature of environmental liabilities that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts are material to its financial statements.

On September 19, 2011, John Daugherty filed a derivative shareholder petition in the County Court at Law No. 3, Dallas County, Texas, on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers and naming the Company as a nominal party. The petition alleges the named directors and officers breached their fiduciary responsibilities in regard to certain internal control matters. The petitioner requests that the defendants pay unspecified damages to the Company. On October 31, 2011, the defendants filed their answer in the lawsuit as well as motions to dismiss it. The defendants have informed the Company that they believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Furmanite America, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, is involved in disputes with a customer, INEOS USA LLC, who is negotiating with a governmental regulatory agency and claims that the subsidiary failed to provide them with satisfactory services at the customer’s facilities. On April 17, 2009, the customer initiated legal action against the subsidiary in the Common Pleas Court of Allen County, Ohio, alleging that the subsidiary and one of its former employees, who performed data services at one of the customer’s facilities, breached its contract with the customer and failed to provide the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facility from 1998 through the second quarter of 2005. The customer’s complaint seeks damages in an amount that the subsidiary believes represents the

total proposed civil penalty, plus the cost of unspecified supplemental environmental projects requested by the regulatory agency to reduce air emissions at the customer’s facility, and also seeks unspecified punitive damages. The subsidiary believes that it provided the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facilities and will vigorously defend against the customer’s claim.

In the first quarter of 2008, a subsidiary of the Company filed an action seeking to vacate a $1.35 million arbitration award related to a sales brokerage agreement associated with a business that the subsidiary sold in 2005. The subsidiary believed that the sales broker was an affiliate of another company that in 2006 settled all of its claims, as well as all of the claims of its affiliates, against the subsidiary. The action to vacate the arbitration award terminated and, in January 2010, the subsidiary paid the full amount of the arbitration award plus accrued interest to the sales broker which was accrued as of December 31, 2009. In separate actions, the subsidiary was seeking to enforce the prior settlement agreement executed by the sales broker’s affiliate and obtain an equitable offset of the arbitration award, however, upon mutual agreement by all parties, these separate actions were dismissed by the court in July 2010.

The Company has contingent liabilities resulting from litigation, claims and commitments incident to the ordinary course of business. Management believes, after consulting with counsel, that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

While the Company cannot make an assessment of the eventual outcome of all of these matters or determine the extent, if any, of any potential uninsured liability or damage, reserves of $1.3 million and $1.9 million, which include the Furmanite America, Inc. litigation, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. While there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts are material to its financial statements.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Business Overview

Furmanite Corporation, (the “Parent Company”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Furmanite”) was incorporated in 1953 and conducts its principal business through its subsidiaries in the technical services industry. The Company’s common stock, no par value, trades under the ticker symbol FRM on the NYSE.

The Company provides specialized technical services, including on-line services (formerly referred to as “under pressure services”) which include leak sealing, hot tapping, line stopping, line isolation, composite repair and valve testing. In addition, the Company provides off-line services (formerly referred to as “turnaround services”) including on-site machining, heat treatment, bolting and valve repair, and other services including smart shim services, concrete repair, engineering services and valve and other products and manufacturing. These products and services are provided primarily to electric power generating plants, petroleum refineries, which include refineries and offshore drilling rigs (including subsea), chemical plants and other process industries in the Americas (which includes operations in North America, South America and Latin America), EMEA (which includes operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia-Pacific through Furmanite.

Financial Overview

For the year ended December 31, 2011, consolidated revenues increased by $30.3 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily related to increases in leak sealing, line stopping, bolting, and composite repair services. The Company’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by $14.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in net income was a result of the increase in revenues for the current year, as well as lower restructuring costs and operational improvements realized as a result of the cost reduction initiatives which began in late 2009 and continued throughout 2010 and into 2011. In addition, 2011 net income was favorably impacted by a $7.7 million adjustment to income tax benefit related to a reversal of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets in the United States.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company committed to a cost reduction initiative, including planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions, in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has completed the 2009 cost reduction initiative with total restructuring costs incurred of approximately $3.4 million, of which $2.3 million and $1.1 million were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. There was minimal restructuring activity for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to this initiative. The Company estimates the effects of this initiative have resulted in annual cost reductions at 2009 activity levels of approximately $11.0 million, primarily compensation expenses, which has reduced selling, general and administrative costs.

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company committed to an additional cost reduction initiative, primarily related to the restructuring of certain functions within the Company’s EMEA operations. The Company has taken specific actions in order to improve the operational and administrative efficiency of its EMEA operations, while providing a structure which will allow for future expansion of operations within the region. The Company expects to incur total costs of approximately $4.0 million in connection with this cost reduction initiative, which are primarily related to severance and benefit costs. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, restructuring costs of $0.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, were incurred as a result of this additional cost reduction initiative, with the remaining $0.2 million expected to be incurred in 2012. The Company estimates the effects of this initiative have resulted in annual cost reductions at 2010 activity levels of approximately $5.0 million, primarily compensation expenses, of which approximately half will affect operating costs with the other half impacting selling, general and administrative costs.

As a result of these two initiatives, total restructuring costs negatively impacted operating income by $0.4 million, $5.7 million and $1.1 million and net income by $0.3 million, $5.2 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Revenues

For the year ended December 31, 2011, consolidated revenues increased by $30.3 million, or 10.6%, to $316.2 million, compared to $285.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenues by $9.8 million, of which $5.5 million, $4.0 million and $0.3 million were related to favorable impacts from EMEA, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues increased by $20.5 million, or 7.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same period for 2010. This $20.5 million increase in revenues consisted of a $23.0 million increase in the Americas and a $3.8 million increase in EMEA, partially offset by a $6.3 million decrease in Asia-Pacific. The increase in revenues in the Americas was related to increases in both on-line and off-line services. The revenue increase within the Americas’ on-line services related to volume increases in leak sealing, line stopping and hot tapping services of approximately 26% when compared to revenues in the same period for 2010. Revenues increased within off-line services by approximately 8% when compared to revenues in 2010 and were attributable to increases in bolting and on-site machining services. The increase in revenues in EMEA was primarily attributable to increases in on-line services. The revenue increase in on-line services in EMEA was primarily related to volume increases in leak sealing and composite repair services of approximately 13% when compared to revenues in the same period for 2010. The decrease in revenues in Asia-Pacific was attributable to decreases in both on-line and off-line services. The decrease within on-line services in Asia-Pacific primarily related to volume decreases in hot

tapping services in Singapore as a large hot tapping project concluded in late 2010, resulting in an approximate 29% decrease in hot tapping services when compared to revenue in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in off-line services in Asia-Pacific is primarily related to volume decreases in bolting services in Australia of approximately 12% due to inclement weather conditions in the first half of 2011 but these decreases were substantially offset by a 10% increase in on-site machining services when compared to revenues in the same period in 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, consolidated revenues increased by $10.0 million, or 3.6%, to $285.9 million, compared to $275.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenues by $1.8 million, of which $4.2 million and $0.2 million were related to favorable impacts from Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively, partially offset by unfavorable impacts in EMEA of $2.6 million. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues increased by $8.2 million, or 3.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period for 2009. This $8.2 million increase in revenues consisted of a $13.3 million increase in the Americas and a $2.1 million increase in Asia-Pacific, partially offset by a $7.2 million decrease in EMEA. The increase in revenues in the Americas was due to increases in on-line services, which included volume increases of approximately 16% in leak sealing and line stopping services revenue when compared to the same period in 2009. Additionally, other services revenues in the Americas increased by approximately 11% related to volume increases in product and other manufacturing services, including a $4.7 million hot tapping equipment package sale. The increase in revenues in Asia-Pacific was primarily attributable to increases in off-line services in Australia and Malaysia, which included volume increases of approximately 8% in bolting services when compared to revenues in the same period in 2009. The decrease in revenues in EMEA was primarily attributable to volume decreases in on-line and off-line services including an approximate 17% decrease in hot tapping and valve repair services revenue when compared to revenues in the same period in 2009.

Operating Costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

For the year ended December 31, 2011, operating costs, including $1.1 million of restructuring and impairment costs, increased $24.5 million, or 12.6%, to $219.1 million, compared to $194.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted costs by $6.6 million, of which $3.8 million, $2.6 million and $0.2 million were related to unfavorable impacts from EMEA, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs increased $17.9 million, or 9.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. This change consisted of an $18.4 million increase in the Americas but was partially offset by decreases of $0.3 million and $0.2 million in EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. The increase in operating costs in the Americas was primarily related to higher material, labor and equipment rental costs of approximately 18% when compared to the same period in 2010, which were attributable to the increase in revenues. The decrease in EMEA was due to decreases in labor costs of 2% associated with the cost reduction initiatives and decreases in severance related restructuring costs which decreased from $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Substantially offsetting the decrease in EMEA was an impairment charge of $0.9 million incurred in the fourth quarter of 2011 related to a write down of certain assets in Germany based on the Company’s decision to discontinue providing certain services in that country. The decrease in operating costs in Asia-Pacific was primarily attributable to a decrease in hot tapping related expenses in Singapore of approximately 5% when compared to the same period in 2010, which were associated with the decreased revenues in 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, operating costs, including $2.0 million of restructuring costs, increased $7.3 million, or 3.9%, to $194.6 million, compared to $187.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted costs by $0.6 million, of which $2.5 million and $0.2 million were related to unfavorable impacts from Asia-Pacific and the Americas, respectively, which were partially offset by a favorable impact of $2.1 million in EMEA. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, operating costs increased $6.7 million, or 3.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009. This change consisted of a $7.8 million and a $0.4 million increase in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in EMEA of $1.5 million. The increases in operating costs in the Americas and Asia-Pacific were primarily related to higher material and labor costs of approximately 6% when compared to the same period in 2009 as a result of the increase in revenues. The decrease in EMEA was due to a decrease in material and labor costs of 5% in 2011 due to a decrease in revenues but was partially offset by $2.0 million of severance related restructuring costs.

Operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 69.3% and 68.1% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The percentage of operating costs to revenues was higher for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to

the same period for 2010 due in part to certain higher margin large jobs in 2010 which did not recur in 2011, impairment costs incurred in the current year as well as the Company broadening its range of services to include projects with slightly lower margins. Excluding impairment and restructuring costs, operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 68.9% and 67.4% for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 68.1% and 67.9% for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The percentage of operating costs to revenues was higher for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period for 2009 as the result of the restructuring costs incurred in 2010. Excluding the restructuring costs, operating costs as a percentage of revenue were 67.4%, slightly improved over 2009 as pricing in the market remained competitive. In addition, the reductions which resulted from the restructuring initiatives were not fully realized until 2011 and the 2010 reductions which had begun to materialize, were significantly offset by inefficiencies in utilization in connection with the restructuring activities which were ongoing throughout 2010.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2011, depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.7 million, or 26.8%, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted depreciation and amortization expense by $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Excluding foreign currency exchange rate impact, depreciation and amortization expense was $1.4 million higher in 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Depreciation and amortization expense increased, in the Americas and APAC, as a result of the stock and asset acquisition, of Self Leveling Machines, Inc. and Self Levelling Machine Pty. Ltd., respectively, (collectively “SLM”) as well as the effects of capital expenditures of approximately $6.5 million placed in service over the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011. Depreciation and amortization expense related to the SLM acquisition was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information on the SLM acquisition).

For the year ended December 31, 2010, depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.5 million, or 8.3%, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2009, due to capital expenditures of approximately $7.3 million placed in service over the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2010. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates were insignificant.

Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenue was 2.6%, 2.3% and 2.2% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.8 million, or 3.9%, to $68.4 million compared to $71.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted costs by $1.7 million, of which $1.1 million and $0.6 million were related to unfavorable impacts from EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impacts, the $4.5 million decrease in selling, general and administrative costs consisted of $1.6 million, $2.6 million and $0.3 million decreases in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Americas was primarily related to reductions in salary and benefit costs, within corporate, of approximately 5% in 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. In addition, the year ended December 31, 2010 included corporate charges of approximately $0.5 million incurred in connection with the retirement of the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and severance and other restructuring related charges of $0.4 million. In EMEA, decreases in selling, general and administrative costs were primarily a result of reductions in restructuring costs which decreased from $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. In Asia-Pacific, decreases in selling, general and administrative costs were primarily a result of reductions in salary and related costs of approximately 13% in 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses, including $3.7 million of restructuring costs, decreased $9.9 million, or 12.2%, to $71.2 million compared to $81.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Changes related to foreign currency exchange were insignificant as a whole as unfavorable Asia-Pacific impacts of approximately $0.7 million were offset by favorable impacts in EMEA of the same amount. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impacts, the $9.9 million decrease in selling, general and administrative costs consisted of $5.7 million, $2.7 million and $1.5 million decreases in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expense in the Americas declined as a result of reductions in salary and related costs of approximately 6%,

as well as, travel, rent and professional fees of approximately 5% compared to costs in 2009 a result of the cost reduction initiatives. Partially offsetting these decreases were $0.5 million of costs incurred in connection with the retirement of the Company’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, as well as additional severance and benefit related restructuring costs of $0.2 million and other restructuring costs of $0.2 million incurred in the year ended December 31, 2010. In EMEA, decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily a result of reductions in salary and related costs of approximately 10% when compared to the same period in 2009. These decreases were offset by restructuring costs of $3.3 million incurred in the year ended December 31, 2010, which included $2.0 million, $0.8 million and $0.5 million related to severance and benefit costs, lease termination costs and other restructuring costs, respectively. In Asia-Pacific, decreases in selling, general and administrative costs were primarily a result of reductions in salary and related costs of approximately 11% when compared to the same period in 2009.

As a result of the above factors, selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue have decreased over the past three years. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue were 21.6%, 24.9% and 29.4% for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Other Income

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense), Net

For the year ended December 31, 2011, consolidated interest income and other income (expense) changed unfavorably by $0.7 million when compared to the same period in 2010. Changes within interest income and other income (expense) primarily related to fluctuations within foreign currency exchange transaction gains and losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, interest income and other income (expense) was consistent with 2009 amounts. Interest income and other income (expense) primarily relates to foreign currency exchange transaction gains and losses.

Interest Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2011, consolidated interest expense increased slightly by $0.1 million when compared to the same period for 2010. The increase in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was due to interest expense associated with the SLM acquisition. Interest rates on the average outstanding debt for the credit facility were consistent between such years.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, consolidated interest expense decreased by $0.4 million when compared to the same period for 2009. The decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was due to a decrease in average outstanding debt and interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.

Income Taxes

The Company maintains a valuation allowance to adjust the basis of net deferred tax assets in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Income Taxes. As a result, substantially all net deferred tax assets attributable to United States federal income taxes, as well as certain state and foreign income taxes, recorded for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were fully reserved with changes offset by a corresponding change in valuation allowance. In 2011, based on the Company’s assessment of future taxable income, it was determined that the net deferred tax assets in the United States are expected to be realized and accordingly the valuation allowance on federal and state deferred tax assets has been reversed in 2011. This reversal of the valuation allowance, net of the utilization of domestic net operating losses and other related deferred tax changes of approximately $6.3 million during the year, resulted in a deferred tax benefit of approximately $7.7 million in 2011. Additionally, the income tax expense recorded for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 consisted primarily of income tax expense in foreign and state jurisdictions of the Company, and a deferred tax benefit of $1.2 million was recognized in 2011 related to the SLM acquisition (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information on the SLM acquisition).

Income tax expense differs from the expected tax at statutory rates due primarily to the change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and different tax rates in the various foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the aggregate tax expenses are not consistent when comparing periods due to the changing income tax mix between domestic and foreign operations and

Table of Contents

within the foreign operations. In concluding whether a full valuation allowance on domestic federal, state, or foreign income taxes is required, the Company primarily considered factors such as the history of operating income and losses, future taxable income and the nature of the deferred tax assets.

Income tax benefit as a percentage of income before taxes was 24.1% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to income tax expense of 28.5% for the year ended December 31, 2010. Excluding the $1.2 million acquisition related deferred tax benefit and the $7.7 million valuation allowance reversal related benefit, income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes would have been 21.9% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The remaining change in the current year income tax rate is related to changes in the mix of income before income taxes between countries whose income taxes are offset by full valuation allowance and those that are not, and differing statutory tax rates in the countries in which the Company incurs tax liabilities. The Company expects its effective income tax rate to increase significantly beginning in 2012 based on the reversal of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets in the United States.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes decreased to 28.5% for the year ended December 31, 2010 from 580.5% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The change in rates is related to changes in the mix of taxable income, between countries whose taxes are offset by full valuation allowances and those that are not. The income generate in certain foreign countries was taxable in 2009, while losses in the U.S. and certain other foreign countries were not tax affected during the same period. This, along with the low level of pre-tax income, resulted in an extremely high effective tax rate in 2009.

In addition, the tax rates in 2009 were significantly impacted by foreign currency transaction gains and losses. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s U.K. subsidiary recognized approximately $3.5 million of foreign currency transaction gains primarily related to U.S. dollar denominated notes outstanding under the Company’s previous credit agreement. During this same period, U.S.-based subsidiaries of the Company recognized foreign currency transaction losses substantially offsetting the impact of the currency transaction gains in the U.K., however income tax expense in the U.K. related to these gains were not offset as the U.S. transaction losses had no tax effect due to the aforementioned valuation allowance on the Company’s U.S. federal taxes.

As noted in the following Liquidity and Capital Resources discussion, the Company terminated its previous credit agreement and replaced it with a new credit agreement in 2009. The Company eliminated the foreign currency translation exposure which was inherent in the previous credit facility through the structuring of the new credit facility, and as a result significantly reduced its foreign currency exposure, as well as any related income tax impacts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources requirements include the funding of working capital needs, the funding of capital investments and the financing of internal growth.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The net cash provided by operating activities was comparable for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 as the increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was substantially offset by changes in working capital requirements, including accounts receivable, inventories and accrued expenses and other current liabilities as well as changes in non-cash items. The increase in net income is due to an increase in revenues coupled with lower restructuring costs and a $7.7 million income tax benefit related to a reversal of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets in the United States. Inventories increased as a result of the increase in revenues while the changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased due to the timing of cash payments, which relate to items such as restructuring and other accrued employee compensation costs, and the settlement or resolution of certain other liabilities.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was $7.8 million compared to $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $10.1 million was primarily due to changes in working capital requirements, driven by increases in accounts receivable, which decreased cash flows by $11.6 million in 2010 compared to an increase of approximately $13.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The changes in accounts receivable primarily related to a general increase in business activity levels at the end of 2010 versus 2009. In addition, the Company paid approximately $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2010 related to an arbitration award settlement which was accrued as of December 31, 2009. The changes in operating assets and liabilities were partially offset by changes in non-cash items of $1.1 million compared to the same period in 2009, and a $12.3 million increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in net income is due to an increase in revenues coupled with decreased selling, general and administrative costs and reduced income tax rates.

Net cash used in investing activities increased to $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to $3.8 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired of $1.2 million, in connection with the SLM acquisition. The increase in cash used related to the SLM acquisition was partially offset by a reduction in capital expenditures from $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 to $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in capital expenditures in 2011 compared to the prior year was due to the timing of when capital assets were acquired or placed in service in 2011 compared to 2010 and not related to any other factor.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $7.1 million compared to $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The change was a result of higher levels of capital expenditures in 2010 compared to 2009. Capital expenditures totaled $7.3 million and $6.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, $0.4 million of payments were made in 2010 related to the acquisition of assets compared with $0.9 million of payments made in 2009.

Consolidated capital expenditures for the calendar year 2012 have been budgeted at $14 million to $15 million. The expected increase in capital expenditures is based on the Company’s requirements for estimated maintenance capital as well as in support of its growth investment strategy. Such expenditures, however, will depend on many factors beyond the Company’s control, including, without limitation, demand for services as well as domestic and foreign government regulations. No assurance can be given that required capital expenditures will not exceed anticipated amounts during 2012 or thereafter. Capital expenditures during the year are expected to be funded from existing cash and anticipated cash flows from operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Financing activities during 2011 primarily consisted of proceeds from stock option exercises substantially offset by principal payments on certain short term debt and capital leases.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.4 million compared to $5.9 million in net cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009. Financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily consisted of proceeds from stock option exercises offset by principal payments on capital leases. The decrease in cash used for financing activities from 2009 primarily resulted from net principal debt payments totaling $5.0 million and payments of debt issuance costs on the new credit facility of $0.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2009.

While the Company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2011 have improved as compared to the same period last year, the worldwide economy, including the markets in which the Company operates, continues, in varying degrees to remain sluggish, and as such, the Company believes that the risks to its business and its customers remain heightened. Lower levels of liquidity and capital adequacy affecting lenders, increases in defaults and bankruptcies by customers and suppliers, and volatility in credit and equity markets, as observed in this economic environment, could continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition in a number of ways, including reductions in revenues and profits, increased bad debts, and financial instability of suppliers and insurers.

Cash held in the bank accounts of foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2011 was $14.3 million. The Company intends to permanently reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided thereon. If the Company were to repatriate the cash held by its foreign subsidiaries, the Company would be required to accrue and pay income taxes in the United States.

On August 4, 2009, certain foreign subsidiaries of FWI (the “designated borrowers”) and FWI entered into a new credit agreement dated July 31, 2009 with a banking syndicate comprising Bank of America, N.A. and Compass Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, which matures on January 31, 2013, provides a revolving credit facility of up to $50.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. In addition, a portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement (not in excess of $5.0 million in the aggregate) is available for swing line loans to FWI. The loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement may not exceed $35.0 million in the aggregate to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers.

Table of Contents

The proceeds from the initial borrowing on the Credit Agreement were $35.0 million and were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the previous loan agreement, which was scheduled to mature in January 2010, at which time the previous loan agreement was terminated by the Company. Letters of credit issued from the previous loan agreement were replaced with similar letters of credit by the Credit Agreement. There were no material circumstances surrounding the termination and no material early termination penalties were incurred by FWI.

At each of December 31, 2011 and 2010, $30.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates (based on the prime rate, federal funds rate or Eurocurrency rate, at the option of the borrower, including a margin above such rates, and subject to an adjustment based on a calculated funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement)) which were 2.3% at both December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges between 0.25% to 0.30% based on the funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, and was 0.25% at both December 31, 2011 and 2010, based on the unused portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash expenses minus income tax credits and non-cash items increasing net income as defined in the Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets (which approximates $148.6 million of current assets and property and equipment as of December 31, 2011) and is without recourse to the Parent Company. The Credit Agreement includes requirements that the Company must maintain: (i) a funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing four-quarters basis, and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 3.0 to 1.0 for the same trailing four quarter period. FWI is also subject to certain other compliance provisions including, but not limited to, maintaining certain tangible asset concentration levels, and capital expenditure limitations as well as restrictions on indebtedness, guarantees, dividends and other contingent obligations and transactions. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants or breach of representations and warranties. At December 31, 2011, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Considering the outstanding borrowings of $30.0 million, and $1.5 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the existing Credit Agreement was $18.5 million at December 31, 2011, with a limit of $5.0 million of this capacity remaining for the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers.

On February 23, 2011, FWI entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Self Leveling Machines, Inc. and a subsidiary of FWI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the material operating and intangible assets of Self Levelling Machines Pty. Ltd. (collectively, “SLM”) for total consideration of $8.9 million, net of cash acquired of $1.2 million, of which approximately $4.7 million relates to the Americas and the balance relates to APAC. SLM provides large scale on-site machining, which includes engineering, fabrication and execution of highly-specialized machining solutions for large-scale equipment or operations.

In connection with the acquisition of SLM, on February 23, 2011, FWI entered into a consent and waiver agreement as it relates to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the consent and waiver agreement, Bank of America, N.A. and Compass Bank consented to the SLM acquisition and waived any default or event of default for certain debt covenants that would arise as a result of the SLM acquisition. FWI funded the cost of the acquisition with $5.0 million in cash and by issuing notes payable (the “Notes”) to the sellers’ equity holders for $5.1 million ($2.9 million denominated in U.S. dollar and $2.2 million denominated in Australian dollar) payable in installments through February 23, 2013. All obligations under the Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the assets acquired in the acquisition. At December 31, 2011, $5.1 million was outstanding under the Notes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.5% per annum.

The Company committed to cost reduction initiatives at the end of 2009 and in the first half of 2010 in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues. As of December 31, 2011, the costs incurred since the inception of these cost reduction initiatives totaled approximately $7.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.4 million and made cash payments of $1.2 million related to these initiatives. As of December 31, 2011, the remaining reserve associated with these initiatives totaled $0.7 million with estimated additional charges to be incurred of approximately $0.2 million, all of which are expected to require cash payments. Total workforce reductions in which severance costs were incurred related to the cost reduction initiatives included terminations for 171 employees, which included reductions of 31 employees in the Americas, 139 employees in EMEA, and one employee in Asia-Pacific.

The Company does not anticipate paying any dividends as it believes investing earnings back into the Company will provide a better long-term return to stockholders in increased per share value. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and available credit under the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to finance current operations, planned capital expenditure requirements and internal growth for the foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents (in thousands) the long-term contractual obligations of the Company as of December 31, 2011 in total and by period due beginning in 2012.

Accrued restructuring costs

Interest on debt is calculated based on outstanding balances, using the weighted average interest rate for 2011. Estimated annual defined benefit pension plan contributions are assumed to be consistent with the current expected contribution level of $1.3 million.

Income tax liabilities are not included in the above contractual obligations. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s gross liability for uncertainty in income taxes under ASC 740-10-65, Income Taxes, was $1.1 million. The Company cannot determine a reliable estimate of the timing of cash flows by period related to its ASC 740-10-65 liability. However, should the entire ASC 740-10-65 liability be paid, the amount of the payment may be partially reduced as a result of offsetting benefits in other tax jurisdictions. See Note 12 under Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding ASC 740-10-65.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) promulgated by FASB, its predecessors, and others as of June 30, 2009, as well as future authoritative accounting principles, are set forth in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”). Future references to U.S. GAAP will be to the Codification number, rather than to literature numbers and titles such as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards numbers and titles. A basic overview of the codification is available on the Internet without charge at www.fasb.org where the codification is explained at FASB ASC 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant policies are presented in Note 1 under Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. These policies require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates, for which no significant changes have occurred for the year ended December 31, 2011, include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, income taxes, defined benefit pension plan, contingencies and restructuring accruals. Critical accounting policies are discussed by management regularly, at least quarterly, with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when realized or realizable, and earned.

Revenues are recognized using the completed-contract method, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax. Substantially all projects are short term in nature; however, the Company occasionally enters into contracts that are longer in duration that represent multiple element arrangements, which include a combination of services and products. The Company separates deliverables into units of accounting based on whether the deliverables have standalone value to the customer. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price generally determined using vendor specific objective evidence. Revenues are recognized for the separate units of accounting when services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered and risk of ownership has passed to the customer. The Company provides limited warranties to customers, depending upon the service performed. Warranty claim costs were not material during any of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Credit is extended to customers based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and generally collateral is not required. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company regularly evaluates and adjusts accounts receivable as doubtful based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis and information available on specific accounts. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. Any payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance in the period the payment is received.

Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Under FASB ASC 350, intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means are amortized over their useful lives. Gross finite-lived intangible assets of $3.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, were also included in intangible and other assets at each of December 31, 2011 and 2010, with accumulated amortization of $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets totaled $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360.

Goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually (in the fourth quarter of each calendar year), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or a loss of key personnel.

FASB ASC 350 requires a two-step process for testing goodwill impairment. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). Two or more components of an operating segment shall be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics.

The Company has three reporting unit for the purpose of testing goodwill impairment as the business segments are determined to be the reporting units. Second, if an impairment is indicated, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets is measured as the excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value.

The Company uses market capitalization as the basis for its measurement of the Company’s fair value as management considers this approach the most meaningful measure, considering the quoted market price as providing the best evidence of fair value. In performing the analysis, the Company uses the stock price on December 31 of each year as the valuation date. The fair value is allocated to the reporting units based on relative fair values, considering factors including expected future discounted cash flows using reasonable and appropriate assumptions about the underlying business activities of each reporting unit. On December 31, 2011, the Company’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value in each of its three reporting units.

Based on valuations and market approach analysis performed by the Company at December 31, 2011 and 2010, no impairment was indicated. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, goodwill totaled $14.6 million and $13.1 million, respectively. The increase in goodwill was related to the SLM acquisition which increased goodwill in the Americas and APAC. In the Americas, goodwill totaled $6.1 million and $4.9 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Goodwill in EMEA totaled $6.6 million at each of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and goodwill in Asia-Pacific totaled $1.9 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, $3.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily tradenames) were included in intangible and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2011, future amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization is estimated to be as follows (in thousands):

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Under FASB ASC 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets, which consist of finite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Factors that may affect recoverability include changes in planned use of equipment, closing of facilities and discontinuance of service lines. Property and equipment to be held and used is reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company’s impairment review is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flow at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. Impairment occurs when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset and the impairment is viewed as other than temporary. When impairment is indicated, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair market value. Depending on the asset, fair market value may be determined either by use of a discounted cash flow model or by reference to estimated selling values of assets in similar condition. In 2011, an impairment of $0.9 million was recorded to write down certain assets in Germany based on the Company’s decision to discontinue providing certain services in that country. No impairment of long-lived assets was recorded during 2010 or 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation

All stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the financial statements and such costs are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as other assumptions. Assumptions utilized in the fair value calculations include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards (estimated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price), the risk free interest rate (based on the U.S. Treasury Note rate over the expected term of the option), the dividend yield (assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid, nor anticipates paying, any cash dividends in the foreseeable future), and employee stock option exercise behavior and forfeiture assumptions (based on historical experience and other relevant factors).

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the U.S. GAAP and tax treatment of certain income and expense items. The Company must assess and make estimates regarding the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered. To the extent that it is determined the deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance must be established for such assets. In making such a determination, the Company must take into account positive and negative evidence including projections of future taxable income and assessments of potential tax planning strategies. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s valuation allowance was $6.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. At the end of 2011, based on the Company’s assessment of future taxable income, it was determined that the net deferred tax assets in the United States are expected to be realized and accordingly the valuation allowance on federal and state deferred tax assets has been reversed in the current period. This reversal of the valuation allowance, net of the utilization of domestic net operating losses and other related deferred tax changes of approximately $6.3 million during the year, resulted in a deferred tax benefit of approximately $7.7 million which was recognized in 2011. The net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2011 relate to U.S. federal and state, and foreign tax items. The net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 relate to certain domestic state and foreign tax items.

The Company and its subsidiaries file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States as well as various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2007 and subsequent years remain subject to examination. Additionally, net operating loss carryforwards originating in years prior to 2007 could be subject to examination to the extent of the loss carryforwards. All material foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2005.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. Uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions would not impact the effective foreign tax rate because unrecognized non-current tax benefits are offset by the foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which are fully reserved. The Company recognizes interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized non-current tax benefits as part of the income tax provision.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. In 2011, the discount rate assumption used to determine end of year benefit obligations was 5.0%. These rates are renewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. Based on this information, the discount rate for 2012 is 5.0%. These rates are determined based on reference to yields. The compensation increase rate of 3.4% per year is based on historical experience. The expected return on plan assets of 5.3% for 2012 is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review of asset allocation strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality and retirement rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation in future periods. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect pension and postretirement obligation and future expense.

Contingencies

Environmental

Liabilities are recorded when site restoration or environmental remediation and cleanup obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries of environmental costs through insurance, indemnification arrangements or other sources are recognized when such recoveries become certain.

The Company capitalizes environmental costs only if the costs are recoverable and the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property owned by the Company as compared with the condition of that property when originally constructed or acquired, or if the costs mitigate or prevent environmental contamination that has yet to occur and that otherwise may result from future operations or activities and the costs improve the property compared with its condition when constructed or acquired. All other environmental costs are expensed.

Other

The Company establishes a liability for all other loss contingencies when information indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations

In the fourth quarter of 2009 and in the first half of 2010, the Company committed to cost reduction initiatives, including planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to more strategically align its operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues. The Company has recorded expenses related to these cost reduction initiatives for severance, lease cancellations, and other restructuring costs in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations” and FASB ASC 712-10, “Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.

Under FASB ASC 420-10, costs associated with restructuring activities are generally recognized when they are incurred. In the case of leases, the expense is estimated and accrued when the property is vacated. In addition, post-employment benefits accrued for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities are accounted for under FASB ASC 712-10. A liability for post-employment benefits is generally recorded when payment is probable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and the obligation relates to rights that have vested or accumulated. The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under its restructuring initiatives. Although the Company believes that these estimates accurately reflect the costs of its restructuring plans, actual results may differ, thereby requiring the Company to record additional provisions or reverse a portion of such provisions.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions at December 31, 2011, or for any of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Inflation and Changing Prices

The Company does not operate or conduct business in hyper-inflationary countries nor enter into long-term supply contracts that may impact margins due to inflation. Changes in prices of goods and services are reflected on proposals, bids or quotes submitted to customers.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s principal market risk exposures (i.e., the risk of loss arising from the adverse changes in market rates and prices) are to changes in interest rates on the Company’s debt and investment portfolios and fluctuations in foreign currency.

The Company centrally manages its debt, considering investment opportunities and risks, tax consequences and overall financing strategies. Based on the amount of variable rate debt, $30.0 million at December 31, 2011, an increase in interest rates by one hundred basis points would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.3 million.

A significant portion of the Company’s business is exposed to fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar as compared to foreign currencies as a result of the foreign operations of the Company in Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Malaysia, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Overall volatility in currency exchange rates has increased over the past several years. During 2011, currencies have strengthened, as foreign currencies exchange rate changes, primarily the Euro, the Australian Dollar and the British Pound, relative to the U.S. dollar resulted in a favorable impact on the Company’s U.S. dollar reported revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. The revenue impact was somewhat mitigated with similar exchange effects on operating costs thereby reducing the exchange rate effect on operating income. The Company does not use interest rate or foreign currency rate hedges.

Based on annual 2011 foreign currency-based revenues and operating income of $165.1 million and $16.2 million, respectively, a ten percent fluctuation of all applicable foreign currencies would result in an annual change in revenues and operating income of $15.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated, as required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective as of December 31, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect

Table of Contents

the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and financial officers assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 using the framework and criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

Grant Thornton LLP, as independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, as stated in their report included herein.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Furmanite Corporation

We have audited Furmanite Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Furmanite Corporation and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Furmanite Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Furmanite Corporation and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Furmanite Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 and our report dated March 8, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Furmanite Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Furmanite Corporation (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Furmanite Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Furmanite Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 8, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The following significant accounting policies are followed by the Company and its subsidiaries in the preparation of its Consolidated Financial Statements. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash is generally invested in high credit quality and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, uninvested cash in excess of requirements for operating purposes is kept at minimum levels. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, and are primarily invested in conservative, highly-rated instruments issued by financial institutions or government entities with strong credit ratings. At certain times, such amounts exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company had short-term investments with two financial institutions at December 31, 2011 that were not insured by the FDIC in the amount of $13.5 million. The Company has not experienced any losses on these investments. Cash in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $14.3 million and $15.7 million, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

The majority of accounts receivable are due from companies with petroleum refineries, chemical plants, offshore energy production platforms, steel mills, nuclear power stations, conventional power stations, pulp and paper mills, food and beverage processing plants and other flow-processing facilities. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and generally collateral is not required. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company regularly evaluates and adjusts for doubtful accounts receivable based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis and information available on specific accounts. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible. Any payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance in the period the payment is received.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly based on related service levels and functionality, and carrying cost is reduced to net realizable value for inventories in which their cost exceeds their utility, due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels or other causes. The cost of inventories consumed or products sold are included in operating costs.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at historical cost. Certain leases have been capitalized and the leased assets have been included in property and equipment. Additions of new equipment and major renewals and replacements of existing equipment are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements that do not materially increase values or extend useful lives are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis at rates based upon the expected useful lives of the various classes of assets. The expected useful lives of property and equipment are as follows: buildings — forty years, machinery and equipment — five to ten years, furniture and fixtures — three to five years, vehicles — four to six years and other property and equipment — two to five years.

Long-Lived Assets

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Under FASB ASC 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets, which consist of finite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Factors that may affect recoverability include changes in planned use of equipment, closing of facilities and discontinuance of service lines. Property and equipment to be held and used is reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company’s impairment review is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flow at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. Impairment occurs when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset and the impairment is viewed as other than temporary. When impairment is indicated, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair market value. Depending on the asset, fair market value may be determined either by use of a discounted cash flow model or by reference to estimated selling values of assets in similar condition. In 2011, an impairment of $0.9 million was recorded related to a write down of certain assets in Germany based on the Company’s decision to discontinue providing certain services in that country. No impairment of long-lived assets was recorded during 2010 or 2009.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Under FASB ASC 350, intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal or other means are amortized over their useful lives. Gross finite-lived intangible assets of $3.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, were also included in intangible and other assets at each of December 31, 2011 and 2010, with accumulated amortization of $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets totaled $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 360.

Goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually (in the fourth quarter of each calendar year), or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Examples of such events or circumstances include a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, or a loss of key personnel.

FASB ASC 350 requires a two-step process for testing goodwill impairment. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (referred to as a component). Two or more components of an operating segment shall be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. The Company has three reporting units for the purpose of testing goodwill impairment as the business segments are determined to be the reporting units. Second, if an impairment is indicated, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill and other intangible assets is measured as the excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value.

The Company uses market capitalization as the basis for its measurement of the Company’s fair value as management considers this approach the most meaningful measure, considering the quoted market price as providing the best evidence of fair value. In performing the analysis, the Company uses the stock price on December 31 of each year as the valuation date. The fair value is allocated to the reporting units based on relative fair values, considering factors including expected future discounted cash flows using reasonable and appropriate assumptions about the underlying business activities of each reporting unit. On December 31, 2011, the Company’s fair value substantially exceeded its carrying value in each of its three reporting units.

Based on valuations and market approach analysis performed by the Company at December 31, 2011 and 2010, no impairment was indicated. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, goodwill totaled $14.6 million and $13.1 million, respectively. The increase in goodwill was related to the SLM acquisition which increased goodwill in the Americas and APAC. In the Americas, goodwill totaled $6.1 million and $4.9 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Goodwill in EMEA totaled $6.6 million at each of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and goodwill in Asia-Pacific totaled $1.9 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, $3.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily tradenames) were included in intangible and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2011, future amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization is estimated to be as follows (in thousands):

 

     2011  

Fiscal Year:

  

2012

The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets subject to amortization is approximately 3.9 years.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when realized or realizable, and earned.

Revenues are recognized using the completed-contract method, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered, the selling price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax. Substantially all projects are short term in

nature; however, the Company occasionally enters into contracts that are longer in duration that represent multiple element arrangements, which include a combination of services and products. The Company separates deliverables into units of accounting based on whether the deliverables have standalone value to the customer. The arrangement consideration is allocated to the separate units of accounting based on each unit’s relative selling price generally determined using vendor specific objective evidence. Revenues are recognized for the separate units of accounting when services to customers have been rendered or products have been delivered and risk of ownership has passed to the customer. The Company provides limited warranties to customers, depending upon the service performed. Warranty claim costs were not material during any of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Operating Costs

Operating costs include direct and indirect labor along with related fringe benefits, materials, freight, travel, engineering, vehicles, equipment rental and restructuring charges, and are expensed when the associated revenue is recognized or as incurred. Direct costs related to projects for which the earnings process have not been completed and therefore not qualifying for revenue recognition are recorded as work-in-process inventory.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll and related fringe benefits, marketing, travel, rent, information technology, insurance, professional fees and restructuring charges, and are expensed as incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the balance sheets of its foreign subsidiaries using year-end exchange rates and translates income statement amounts using the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Gains and losses resulting from the change in exchange rates from year to year are reported separately as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has no foreign subsidiaries subject to foreign exchange restrictions.

Stock-Based Compensation

All stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense in the financial statements and such costs are measured at the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as other assumptions. Assumptions utilized in the fair value calculations include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards (estimated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price), the risk free interest rate (based on the U.S. Treasury Note rate over the expected term of the option), the dividend yield (assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid, nor anticipates paying, any cash dividends), and employee stock option exercise behavior and forfeiture assumptions (based on historical experience and other relevant factors).

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and tax treatment of certain income and expense items. The Company must assess and make estimates regarding the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered. To the extent that it is determined the deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance must be established for such assets. In making such a determination, the Company must take into account positive and negative evidence including projections of future taxable income and assessments of potential tax planning strategies. Prior to 2011, a full valuation allowance on domestic federal, certain state and foreign net deferred tax assets was determined appropriate at December 31, 2010 and 2009. At the end of 2011, based on the Company’s assessment of future taxable income, it was determined that the net deferred tax assets in the United States are expected to be realized and accordingly the valuation allowance on federal and state deferred tax assets has been reversed in the current period. The net impact of this reversal and related deferred tax changes, resulted in a deferred tax benefit of approximately $7.7 million was recognized in 2011.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. Uncertain tax positions in certain foreign jurisdictions would not impact the effective foreign tax rate because unrecognized non-current tax benefits are offset by the foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which are fully reserved. The Company recognizes interest expense on underpayments of income taxes and accrued penalties related to unrecognized non-current tax benefits as part of the income tax provision.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. These rates are renewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined based on reference to yields. The compensation increase rate is based on historical experience. The expected return on plan assets is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review of asset allocation strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality and retirement rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation in future periods. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect pension and postretirement obligation and future expense.

Contingencies

Environmental

Liabilities are recorded when site restoration or environmental remediation and cleanup obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries of environmental costs through insurance, indemnification arrangements or other sources are recognized when such recoveries become certain.

The Company capitalizes environmental costs only if the costs are recoverable and the costs extend the life, increase the capacity, or improve the safety or efficiency of property owned by the Company as compared with the condition of that property when originally constructed or acquired, or if the costs mitigate or prevent environmental contamination that has yet to occur and that otherwise may result from future operations or activities and the costs improve the property compared with its condition when constructed or acquired. All other environmental costs are expensed.

Other

The Company establishes a liability for all other loss contingencies, when information indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations

In the fourth quarter of 2009 and in the first half of 2010, the Company committed to cost reduction initiatives, including planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to more strategically align its operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues. The Company has recorded expenses related to these cost reduction initiatives for severance, lease cancellations, and other restructuring costs in accordance with FASB ASC 420-10, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations” and FASB ASC 712-10, “Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits.

Under FASB ASC 420-10, costs associated with restructuring activities are generally recognized when they are incurred. In the case of leases, the expense is estimated and accrued when the property is vacated. In addition, post-employment benefits accrued for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities are accounted for under FASB ASC 712-10. A liability for post-employment benefits is generally recorded when payment is probable, the amount is reasonably estimable, and the

obligation relates to rights that have vested or accumulated. The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under its restructuring initiatives. Although the Company believes that these estimates accurately reflect the costs of its restructuring plans, actual results may differ, thereby requiring the Company to record additional provisions or reverse a portion of such provisions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, defined benefit pension plan, income taxes, restructuring accruals and contingencies.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 provides further clarification on the: (1) application of the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts, (2) fair value measurement of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity, and (3) disclosure of unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 also changes how fair value is measured for financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio and how premiums and discounts are applied in measuring fair value. In addition to the clarification of Level 3 disclosures, ASU 2011-04 requires additional disclosures for fair value measurements as it relates to the following: (1) the valuation process and sensitivity of changes in unobservable inputs, (2) a reporting entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use, and (3) the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect a material impact from the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only the following two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements. In addition, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, a company’s option to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, nor does it affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. ASU 2011-05 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company anticipates the adoption of this guidance will change the presentation and provide additional detail on certain consolidated financial statements, but will not have a material impact.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 gives a company the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 allows a company to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Using the qualitative assessment in ASU 2011-08, if a company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If a company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it is required to perform step one of the two-step impairment test. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect this update to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

2. Acquisition

On February 23, 2011, Furmanite Worldwide, Inc. (“FWI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Self Leveling Machines, Inc. and a subsidiary of FWI entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the material operating and intangible assets of Self Levelling Machines Pty. Ltd. (collectively, “SLM”) for total consideration of $8.9 million, net of cash acquired of $1.2 million, of which approximately $4.7 million relates to the Americas and the balance relates to APAC. SLM provides large scale on-site machining, which includes engineering, fabrication and execution of highly-specialized machining solutions for large-scale equipment or operations.

In connection with the SLM acquisition, on February 23, 2011, FWI entered into a consent and waiver agreement under its credit agreement. See Note 8, “Long-Term Debt,” to these consolidated financial statements for additional information as it relates to the credit agreement. FWI funded the cost of the acquisition with $5.0 million in cash and by issuing notes payable (the “Notes”) to the sellers’ equity holders for $5.1 million.

The following amounts represent the final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands):

1

Goodwill, which relates to the Americas (which includes operations in North America, South America and Latin America), consists of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition and is not deductible for tax purposes.

2

Intangible assets are primarily comprised of trademarks, patents, and non-compete arrangements. Other assets consist of acquired interests in equity and cost method investments.

The SLM acquisition was not material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations, therefore, SLM’s pro forma results would not have a material impact on the Company’s results had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the current or previous year.

3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are calculated as net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, which includes restricted stock. Restricted shares of the Company’s common stock have full voting rights and participate equally with common stock in dividends declared and undistributed earnings. As participating securities, the restricted stock awards are included in the calculation of basic EPS using the two-class method. Diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes issuance of the net incremental shares from stock options when dilutive. The weighted-average common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents including options to purchase shares of common stock, using the treasury stock method.

7. Restructuring

During the fourth quarter of 2009 and in the first half of 2010, the Company committed to cost reduction initiatives, including planned workforce reductions and restructuring of certain functions. The Company has taken these specific actions in order to more strategically align the Company’s operating, selling, general and administrative costs relative to revenues.

2009 Cost Reduction Initiative

The Company has completed this cost reduction initiative, which began in the fourth quarter of 2009. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, restructuring costs incurred of $1.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, restructuring costs incurred of $0.5 million are included in operating costs. The total costs incurred related to this cost reduction initiative were approximately $3.4 million. There was minimal restructuring activity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 related to this initiative.

2010 Cost Reduction Initiative

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company committed to an additional cost reduction initiative, primarily related to the restructuring of certain functions within the Company’s EMEA operations. The Company has taken and continues to take specific actions in order to improve the operational and administrative efficiency of its EMEA operations, while providing a structure which will allow for future expansion of operations within the region. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, restructuring costs incurred of $0.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, are included in operating costs. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, restructuring costs incurred of $0.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The total restructuring costs estimated to be incurred in connection with this cost reduction initiative are $4.0 million. As of December 31, 2011, the costs incurred since inception of this cost reduction initiative totaled approximately $3.8 million, with the remaining $0.2 million expected to relate primarily to severance and benefit and lease termination costs.

On August 4, 2009, certain foreign subsidiaries of FWI (the “designated borrowers”) and FWI entered into a new credit agreement dated July 31, 2009 with a banking syndicate comprising Bank of America, N.A. and Compass Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, which matures on January 31, 2013, provides a revolving credit facility of up to $50.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. In addition, a portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement (not in excess of $5.0 million in the aggregate) is available for swing line loans to FWI. The loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement may not exceed $35.0 million in the aggregate to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers.

The proceeds from the initial borrowing on the Credit Agreement were $35.0 million and were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the previous loan agreement, which was scheduled to mature in January 2010, at which time the previous loan agreement was terminated by the Company. Letters of credit issued from the previous loan agreement were replaced with similar letters of credit by the Credit Agreement. There were no material circumstances surrounding the termination and no material early termination penalties were incurred by FWI.

At each of December 31, 2011 and 2010, $30.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates (based on the prime rate, federal funds rate or Eurocurrency rate, at the option of the borrower, including a margin above such rates, and subject to an adjustment based on a calculated funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement)) which was 2.3% both at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges between 0.25% to 0.30% based on the funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, and was 0.25% at both December 31, 2011 and 2010, based on the unused portion of the amount available under the Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA is net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash expenses minus income tax credits and non-cash items increasing net income as defined in the Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets (which approximates $148.6 million of current assets and property and equipment as of December 31, 2011) and is without recourse to the Parent Company. The Credit Agreement includes requirements that the Company must maintain: (i) a funded debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing four-quarters basis, and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least 3.0 to 1.0 for the same trailing four quarter period. FWI is also subject to certain other compliance provisions including, but not limited to, maintaining certain tangible asset concentration levels, and capital expenditure limitations as well as restrictions

on indebtedness, guarantees, dividends and other contingent obligations and transactions. Events of default under the Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants or breach of representations and warranties. At December 31, 2011, FWI was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Considering the outstanding borrowings of $30.0 million, and $1.5 million related to outstanding letters of credit, the unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement was $18.5 million at December 31, 2011, with a limit of $5.0 million of this capacity remaining for the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers.

In connection with the acquisition of SLM, on February 23, 2011, FWI entered into a consent and waiver agreement as it relates to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the consent and waiver agreement, Bank of America, N.A. and Compass Bank consented to the SLM acquisition and waived any default or event of default for certain debt covenants that would arise as a result of the SLM acquisition. FWI funded the cost of the acquisition with $5.0 million in cash and by issuing the Notes to the sellers’ equity holders for $5.1 million ($2.9 million denominated in U.S. dollar and $2.2 million denominated in Australian dollar) payable in installments through February 23, 2013. All obligations under the Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the assets acquired in the acquisition. At December 31, 2011, $5.1 million was outstanding under the Notes. The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.5% per annum.

9. Retirement Plans

The Company has a defined contribution plan which covers substantially all eligible domestic employees and provides for varying levels of employer matching. Company contributions to this plan were $1.3 million, $1.2 million and $1.8 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Two of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans, one plan covering certain of its U.K. employees (the “U.K. Plan”) and the other covering certain of its Norwegian employees (the “Norwegian Plan”). As the Norwegian Plan represents less than four percent of the Company’s total pension plan liabilities and approximately two percent of total pension plan assets, only the schedules of net periodic pension cost (benefit) and changes in benefit obligation and plan assets include combined amounts from the two plans, while all other assumption, detail and narrative information relates solely to the U.K. Plan.

Benefits for the U.K. Plan are based on the average of the employee’s salary for the last three years of employment. Generally, the employee contributes 6.5% to 12.0% and the employer contributes up to 12.0% of pay. Plan assets are primarily invested in unitized pension funds managed by U.K. registered fund managers. The most recent valuation of the U.K. Plan was performed as of December 31, 2011. Estimated annual defined benefit pension plan contributions are assumed to be consistent with the current expected contribution level of $1.0 million.

Pension benefit costs and liabilities are dependent on assumptions used in calculating such amounts. The primary assumptions include factors such as discount rates, expected investment return on plan assets, mortality rates and retirement rates. The discount rate assumption used to determine end of year benefit obligations was 5.0%. These rates are renewed annually and adjusted to reflect current conditions. These rates are determined appropriate based on reference to yields. The compensation increase rate of 3.4% per year is based on historical experience. The expected return on plan assets of 5.3%

for 2012 is derived from detailed periodic studies, which include a review of asset allocation strategies, anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes, risks (standard deviations) and correlations of returns among the asset classes that comprise the plans’ asset mix. While the studies give appropriate consideration to recent plan performance and historical returns, the assumptions are primarily long-term, prospective rates of return. Mortality and retirement rates are based on actual and anticipated plan experience. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, actual results that differ from the assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods and, therefore, generally affect recognized expense and the recorded obligation in future periods. While management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect pension and postretirement obligation and future expense.

The plan actuary determines the expected return on plan assets based on a combination of expected yields on equity securities and corporate bonds and considering historical returns.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the weighted average of expected returns on asset investment categories as follows: 5.3% overall, 6.5% for equities and 3.4% for bonds.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, transfers from Level 2 assets to Level 3 assets were made due to changes in the observability of inputs. There were no transfers related to the Company’s Level 3 assets during the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2009.

Investment objectives for the U.K. Plan, as of December 31, 2011, are to:

 

   

optimize the long-term return on plan assets at an acceptable level of risk

 

   

maintain a broad diversification across asset classes

 

   

maintain careful control of the risk level within each asset class

The trustees of the U.K. Plan have established a long-term investment strategy comprising global investment weightings targeted at 40% (range of 37% to 43%) for equity securities, 40% (range of 37% to 43%) for debt securities and 20% (range 17% to 25%) for an actively managed absolute return fund which holds a combination of debt and equity securities. Selection of the targeted asset allocation was based upon a review of the expected return and risk characteristics of each asset class, as well as the correlation of returns among asset classes. Actual allocations to each asset class vary from target allocations due to periodic investment strategy changes, market value fluctuations and the timing of benefit payments and contributions.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

The holders of shares of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of common stockholders. Each share of common stock is entitled to participate equally in dividends, when and if declared, and in the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, subject in all cases to any rights of outstanding preferred stock.

Series B Preferred Stock

On April 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one stock purchase right (“Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock to stockholders of record on April 19, 2008. These Rights are substantially similar to, and were issued in replacement of, the rights that expired on April 19, 2008, pursuant to the Company’s then existing Stockholders Rights Plan. Pursuant to the replacement Stockholders Rights Plan, each Right entitles the holder, upon the occurrence of certain events, to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value, at a price of $48, subject to adjustment. The Rights will not become transferable from the common stock or become exercisable until a person or group either acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer that would result in ownership of 20% or more, whichever occurs earlier. The Rights, which expire on April 19, 2018, are redeemable in whole, but not in part, at the Company’s option at any time for a price of $0.01 per Right. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 400,000 Series B Preferred Shares authorized and none were outstanding.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has stock option plans and agreements for officers, directors and key employees which allow for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights. The options granted under these plans and agreements generally vest over periods of up to five years and expire between five to ten years after the grant date. All options were granted at prices greater than or equal to the market price at the date of grant. The stock option plan has 6,100,000 shares authorized and 1,713,015 shares were available for additional issuance at December 31, 2011.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, total compensation cost charged against income and included in selling, general, and administrative expenses, for stock-based compensation arrangements was $0.7 million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, includes $0.2 million associated with accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the retirement of the former Chairman and Chief Executive Office of the Company. The total unrecognized tax benefit related to stock options and restricted stock as of both December 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $0.5 million. The unrecognized tax benefit related to the disposition of stock options and vesting of restricted stock was approximately $0.4 million, $0.2 million and nil for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options was $2.2 million. The total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5.9 years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) as its method of valuation under FASB ASC 718-10 and a single option award approach. This fair value computation is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the

 

F-25


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

requisite service periods of the options, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as other assumptions. Assumptions utilized in the fair value calculations include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards (estimated using the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price), the risk free interest rate (based on the U.S. Treasury Note rate over the expected term of the option), the dividend yield (assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid, nor anticipates paying any cash dividends), and employee stock option exercise behavior and forfeiture assumptions (based on historical experience and other relevant factors).

The weighted-average estimated value of employee stock options granted in 2011, 2010 and 2009 were estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     2011   2010   2009

Expected volatility

   58.9% to 59.8%   58.0% to 64.9%   47.7% to 47.9%

Risk-free interest rate

   1.4% to 2.7%   1.7% to 2.6%   2.0% to 2.2%

Expected dividends

   0%   0%   0%

Expected term in years

   6.5   5.0 to 6.5   4.0

The Company granted options to purchase 115,000, 555,000 and 180,000 shares of its common stock during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, that generally vest annually over five years. All options were granted at prices equal to the market price at the date of grant. The weighted average fair market value of options granted during 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $3.95, $2.98 and $1.56 per option, respectively. The maximum contractual term of the stock options is 10 years. The Company uses authorized but unissued shares of common stock for stock option exercises pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and treasury stock for issuances outside of the plan.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are issued under the Company’s stock option plan. A restricted stock award is an award of shares of the Company’s common stock (which have full voting rights but are restricted with regard to sale or transfer). Restricted stock awards are independent of stock option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if service terminates prior to the vesting of the restricted stock. A restricted stock unit is an award of units of the Company’s common stock. Restricted stock units are generally subject to forfeiture if service and performance requirements are not met. The Company expenses the cost of restricted stock, which is determined to be the fair value of the restricted stock at the date of grant, on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For these purposes, the fair value of the restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Income tax expense differs from the expected tax at statutory rates due primarily to the change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and different tax rates in the various state and foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the aggregate tax expense is not always consistent when comparing periods due to the change in mix of income before income taxes between domestic and foreign operations and within the foreign operations.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had available domestic federal tax net operating loss carryforwards (“ NOLs”) of $19.6 million, which will expire, if unused, as follows: $11.6 million in 2025, $4.0 million in 2026 and $4.0 million in 2029. The utilization of these NOLs could be subject to significant limitation in the event of a “change in ownership”, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, which might be caused by purchases or sales of the Company’s securities by persons or groups now or in the future having 5% or greater ownership of the Company’s common stock.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the U.S. GAAP and tax treatment of certain income and expense items. The Company must assess and make estimates regarding the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered. To the extent that it is determined the deferred tax assets will not be recovered, a valuation allowance must be established for such assets. In making such a determination, the Company must take into account positive and negative evidence, including projections of future taxable income and assessments of potential tax planning strategies. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s valuation allowance was $6.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. At the end of 2011, based on the Company’s assessment of future taxable income, it was determined that the net deferred tax asset in the United States are expected to be realized and accordingly the valuation allowance on federal and state deferred tax assets has been reversed in the current period. This reversal of the valuation allowance, net of the utilization of domestic net operating losses and other related deferred tax changes of approximately $6.3 million during the year, resulted in a deferred tax benefit of approximately $7.7 million which was recognized in 2011. The net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2011 relate to U.S federal and state, and foreign tax items. The net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 relate to certain domestic state and foreign tax items.

The Company recognizes the income tax benefit associated with certain stock compensation deductions when such deductions produce a reduction in the Company’s current tax liability. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize the benefit of the tax deductions upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock in any of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009. The benefit will be recorded in future periods when the Company realizes the income tax benefit with an offset to income taxes payable.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, are as follows (in thousands):

Long-term deferred tax liability of $0.4 million was recorded at December 31, 2011. In 2011 and 2010, deferred tax benefit of $0.7 million and deferred tax expense of $1.5 million, respectively, related to changes in pension net actuarial loss and prior service credit were recorded in other comprehensive income.

The Company incurred no significant interest or penalties for any of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009.

The Company and its subsidiaries file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States as well as various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2007 and subsequent years remain subject to examination. Additionally, NOLs originating in years prior to 2007 could be subject to examination to the extent of the loss carryforwards. All material foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2005. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided thereon.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases vehicles, office space, office equipment and other items of personal property under leases expiring at various dates. Management expects that, in the normal course of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Total rent expense incurred under operating leases, including short-term leases, was $18.9 million, $14.3 million and $12.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company has contracts with two suppliers which include minimum purchase requirements to keep the contracts in effect. The aggregate minimum requirements over the next three years under the two contracts total $8.0 million.

At December 31, 2011, future minimum rental commitments under all capital leases classified as long-term debt and operating leases are as follows (in thousands):

The operations of the Company are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the U.S. and various foreign locations relating to protection of the environment. Although the Company believes its operations are in compliance with applicable environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the Company. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from operations of the Company, could result in costs and liabilities to the Company. The Company has recorded, in other liabilities, an undiscounted reserve for environmental liabilities related to the remediation of site contamination for properties in the U.S. in the amount of $1.0 million and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. While there is a reasonable possibility due to the inherent nature of environmental liabilities that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts are material to its financial statements.

On September 19, 2011, John Daugherty filed a derivative shareholder petition in the County Court at Law No. 3, Dallas County, Texas, on behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers and naming the Company as a nominal party. The petition alleges the named directors and officers breached their fiduciary responsibilities in regard to certain internal control matters. The petitioner requests that the defendants pay unspecified damages to the Company. On October 31, 2011, the defendants filed their answer in the lawsuit as well as motions to dismiss it. The defendants have informed the Company that they believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Furmanite America, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, is involved in disputes with a customer, INEOS USA LLC, who is negotiating with a governmental regulatory agency and claims that the subsidiary failed to provide them with satisfactory services at the customer’s facilities. On April 17, 2009, the customer initiated legal action against the subsidiary in the Common Pleas Court of Allen County, Ohio, alleging that the subsidiary and one of its former employees, who performed data services at one of the customer’s facilities, breached its contract with the customer and failed to provide the customer

with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facility from 1998 through the second quarter of 2005. The customer’s complaint seeks damages in an amount that the subsidiary believes represents the total proposed civil penalty, plus the cost of unspecified supplemental environmental projects requested by the regulatory agency to reduce air emissions at the customer’s facility, and also seeks unspecified punitive damages. The subsidiary believes that it provided the customer with adequate and timely information to support the subsidiary’s work at the customer’s facilities and will vigorously defend against the customer’s claim.

In the first quarter of 2008, a subsidiary of the Company filed an action seeking to vacate a $1.35 million arbitration award related to a sales brokerage agreement associated with a business that the subsidiary sold in 2005. The subsidiary believed that the sales broker was an affiliate of another company that in 2006 settled all of its claims, as well as all of the claims of its affiliates, against the subsidiary. The action to vacate the arbitration award terminated and, in January 2010, the subsidiary paid the full amount of the arbitration award plus accrued interest to the sales broker which was accrued as of December 31, 2009. In separate actions, the subsidiary was seeking to enforce the prior settlement agreement executed by the sales broker’s affiliate and obtain an equitable offset of the arbitration award, however, upon mutual agreement by all parties, these separate actions were dismissed by the court in July 2010.

The Company has contingent liabilities resulting from litigation, claims and commitments incident to the ordinary course of business. Management believes, after consulting with counsel, that the ultimate resolution of such contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

While the Company cannot make an assessment of the eventual outcome of all of these matters or determine the extent, if any, of any potential uninsured liability or damage, reserves of $1.3 million and $1.9 million, which include the Furmanite America, Inc. litigation, were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. While there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized could occur, the Company does not believe such amounts are material to its financial statements.

14. Business Segment Data and Geographical Information

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. During the third quarter of 2011, the Company expanded the number of segments as a result of enhancements in the level of financial information provided to its chief operating decision maker. The prior period information conforms to the current year presentation. For financial reporting purposes, the Company operates in three segments which comprise the Company’s three geographical areas: the Americas (which includes operations in North America, South America and Latin America), EMEA (which include operations Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia-Pacific.

The Company provides specialized technical services to an international client base that includes petroleum refineries, chemical plants, pipelines, offshore drilling and production platforms, steel mills, food and beverage processing facilities, power generation, and other flow-process industries.

The Company evaluates performance based on the operating income (loss) from each segment which excludes interest income and other income (expense), interest expense, and income tax expense (benefit). The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Intersegment revenues are recorded at cost plus a profit margin. All transactions and balances between segments are eliminated in consolidation.

The following geographical area information includes total long-lived assets (which consist of all non-current assets, other than goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and deferred tax assets) based on physical location at December 31, (in thousands):

Total long-lived assets

   $ 38,275       $ 32,896   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Included in the Americas geographical area were domestic property and equipment, net of $19.4 million and $15.4 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Included in the EMEA geographical area at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were U.K. property and equipment, net of $4.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Considering the Company’s global nature, and its exposure to foreign currencies, the financial results in any geographical area can be impacted by changes in currency exchange rates in any given year. In 2011, the financial results were favorably impacted in Asia Pacific, EMEA and the Americas as a result of currency exchange rate changes during the year. In 2010, the financial results were favorably impacted in Asia Pacific but were partially offset by unfavorable impacts in EMEA as a result of currency exchange rate changes during the year. In 2009, the financial results were favorably impacted in EMEA and Australia but were substantially offset by an unfavorable impact in the Americas.

15. Significant Customers

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the consolidated revenues during any of the past three fiscal years.

16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk

Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under FASB ASC 820-10 must maximize the use of the observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard established a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

 

   

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

 

   

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances

The Company currently does not have any assets or liabilities that would require valuation under FASB ASC 820-10, except for pension assets, which is separately described in Note 9. The Company does not have any derivatives or marketable securities.

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of all debt as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 approximated the carrying value. These fair values were estimated based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, when quoted market prices were not available. The estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

18. Subsequent Events

On March 5, 2012, certain foreign subsidiaries of FWI (the “designated borrowers”) and FWI entered into a new credit agreement dated March 5, 2012 with a banking syndicate led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “new Credit Agreement”). The new Credit Agreement, which matures on February 28, 2017, provides a revolving credit facility of up to $75.0 million. A portion of the amount available under the new Credit Agreement (not in excess of $20.0 million) is available for the issuance of letters of credit. In addition, a portion of the amount available under the new Credit Agreement (not in excess of $7.5 million in the aggregate) is available for swing line loans to FWI. The loans outstanding under the new Credit Agreement may not exceed $50.0 million in the aggregate to the foreign subsidiary designated borrowers.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011

 

The proceeds from the initial borrowing on the new Credit Agreement were $30.0 million and were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the previous loan agreement, which was scheduled to mature in January 2013, at which time the previous loan agreement was terminated by the Company. Letters of credit issued from the previous loan agreement were replaced with similar letters of credit by the new Credit Agreement. There were no material circumstances surrounding the termination and no material early termination penalties were incurred by FWI.

Borrowings under the new Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates (based on the prime rate, federal funds rate or Eurocurrency rate, at the option of the borrower, including a margin above such rates, and subject to an adjustment based on a calculated Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the new Credit Agreement)). The new Credit Agreement contains a commitment fee, which ranges from 0.25% to 0.30% based on the Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio. EBITDA is net income plus interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash expenses minus income tax credits and non-cash items increasing net income as defined in the new Credit Agreement. All obligations under the new Credit Agreement are guaranteed by FWI and certain of its subsidiaries under a guaranty and collateral agreement, and are secured by a first priority lien on FWI and certain of its subsidiaries’ assets. The Parent Company has granted a security interest in its stock of FWI as collateral security for the Lenders, but is not a party to the new Credit Agreement.

The new Credit Agreement includes financial covenants, which require that the Company maintain: (i) a Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio of no more than 2.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, measured on a trailing four-quarters basis, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.00, defined as EBITDA minus capital expenditures / interest plus cash taxes plus scheduled payments of debt plus Restricted Payments made (i.e. all dividends, distributions and other payments in respect of capital stock, sinking funds or similar deposits on account thereof or other returns of capital, redemption or repurchases of equity interests, and any payments to Parent or its subsidiaries (other than FWI and its Subsidiaries)), and (iii) a minimum asset coverage of at least 1.50 to 1.00, defined as cash plus net accounts receivable plus net inventory plus net property, plant and equipment of FWI and its Material Subsidiaries that are subject to a first priority perfected lien in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders / Funded Debt.

FWI is also subject to certain other compliance provisions including, but not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, guarantees, dividends and other contingent obligations and transactions. Events of default under the new Credit Agreement include customary events, such as change of control, breach of covenants or breach of representations and warranties.
